SI-IAVING-CUP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 23, 1909.

Application filed February 15, 1908, Serial No. 416,012. Renewed January11, 1909. Serial No. 471,753.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN I-IassnnmNe, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inShaving-Cups, of which the following is a specification.

rlhis invention relates to an improved shaving cup by which the waterwhich is used for making lather is drained ofi' from the soap and bywhich a sanitary shaving cup is obtained, as the same can be thoroughlycleaned after each use of the cup; and for this purpose the inventionconsists Yof a shaving cup the body of which is provided at the lowerpart with an opening and a projecting portion for the shaving brush, ashoulder at the middle portion of the cup above said opening, and aperforated detachable partition provided with a seat for the soap and anupwardly-bent circumferential flange resting on the shoulder of the cup,as `will be fully described hereinafter' and finally pointed out in theclaims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view ofmy improved shaving cup, Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of thesame on line 2, 2, Fig. 3, and Fig. 3 is a top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, a represents the body of my improved shavingcup which is provided at its lower part with an opening al and aspout-shaped extension a2 through which the shaving brush is inserted.The body a of the cup 1s provided approximately in line with the upperedge of the spoutshaped extension c2 with an inwardly-projecting`shoulder t on which rests a soapdish cl that is provided with a centraldepression Zl for receiving the usual round cake of shaving soa e. Thecenter' of the soap-dish is preferalbly dished so as to reduce thesurface of adhesion between the cake of soap and the depressed portionof the dish. The dish is provided with an upwardly-bent flange Z2 andwith holes Z3 near the outer edge, as shown clearly in Fig. 3.

My improved shaving cup can be spun from sheet-copper, the spout-shapedextension and the handle being soldered on, after which the cup isfinished in nickel or silver plating, or the same can be made insterling silver and gilt at the inner surface, or in cheaper style inglass, china, enameled steel and other materials.

The advantages of my improved shaving cup are that the soap is notsubmerged in the water, but supported on the detachable soapdish at themiddle portion of the cup, the water being drained oll1 from the soap sothat thereby the right kind of lather can be produced. After the latheris used the waste water is poured out of the lower part of the cup andthe soap-dish with the soap removed, so that the cup can be thoroughlycleaned and thereby kept in sanitary condition.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

1. A shaving cup the body of which is provided with an opening in itslower part and a spout-shaped extension adjacent to said opening, aninterior shoulder at the middle portion of the cup, and a removablesoap-dish seated on said shoulder.

2. A shaving cup the body of which is provided with an opening at itslower part and a spout-shaped extension adjacent to said opening, aninterior shoulder at the middle portion of said cup, and a detachablesoap-dish resting on said shoulder and provided with a seat for the cakeof soap, an upwardly-bent circumferential flange, and perforationsbetween the seat and flange.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmy name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
